Funeral rites, as rituals of life, are fundamental in dealing with the death in the Confucian system, and a method to achieve the good death of the deceased. On the basis of the concept of soul, funeral rites include the ritual of grooming and hiding the body, and the ritual of resting the soul. The former aims to prevent the dead from being disgusted by living and eaten by animals, which can maintain the dignity of the deceased. The latter aims to gradually lead the soul of the deceased into the ancestral temple, so as to provide it with refuge. In addition, funeral rites are the way for the deceased to transcend death. First, funeral rites are the last part of the deceased’s presentation of his or her value to the world. Therefor, based on the concept of “ both the life and death are good,” it becomes a necessary means to maintain the spirit of the deceased and the name of a gentleman; while playing this role, funeral rites also force the deceased to establish virtue while they are still alive. Second, funeral rites also rely on “external supervision,” “ritual setting,” and “transcendent needs of the living”, urge the living to remember the kindness of the deceased, so that the value of the deceased will be passed on to the later generation.
